Fast for Feast—Yom Kippur Participate in “Fast for Feast,” a project that directs money that we will not

spend on food while observing the fast of Yom Kippur towards charities that provide food for the hungry in Israel and the United States. “Fast for Feast” is

inspired by a comment of the great Talmudic scholar, Maharsha, who endorsed designating money for each fast day towards tzedakah, lest we profit

financially from observing the mitzvah of fasting. Visit fastforfeast.org.

ASBI is excited to welcome back Yeshivat Chovevei Torah Intern Daniel Atwood for Yom Kippur, September 29 - 30.
